Steps:
- Grow 4-5 large basil plants so you can make this all summer long. Purple basil makes the spiciest pesto (my Dad's favorite).
- Put basil, nuts, cheese and garlic in a food processor.
- Turn it on and drizzle in enough olive oil to reach the desired consistency - thick for spreading on bread or thin for tossing with cooked vegetables or pasta.
- NOTE: Do not use dried basil. This recipe can be frozen (in ice cube trays or 1/2 - 1 cup portions) for up to 6 months, but do not add the cheese until you are ready to eat or the sauce will fall apart.

MOM'S PESTO RECIPE
Steps:
- Put basil, oregano/parsely, olive oil, pine nuts, garlic, and salt in blender/cuisinart and mix thoroughly. Remove and add cheese (can use only parmesan instead of mixture). Serve on hot pasta (which has been mostly but quickly drained -and therefore retains some of its cooking water).

Steps:
- Remove the leaves from the basil. Doesn't matter how large the leaves are.
- Peel garlic.
- Blanch the basil leaves and garlic for 30 seconds, then plunge them immediately into a cold ice bath. Allow to get totally cold.

- Place the basil leaves, almonds, parmesan cheese, salt and garlic cloves in a food processor. Process until the almonds have broken down and you have a thick-ish paste.
- While the food processor is spinning, gradually add the olive oil. You can start with ¼ cup and process, then stop and check the consistency. If you’d like a thinner and creamier pesto, add the remaining ¼ cup for a total of ½ cup.
- If not using it right away, store the pesto in a glass jar in the fridge until ready to use. It’ll keep fresh in the refrigerator for about one week or you could also freeze for later use.

- Combine the basil, pine nuts (or whatever nuts you’re using), parmesan, lemon juice, garlic and salt in a food processor. You can use a blender but a food processor is best and blender gives it a different texture.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly coat a baking sheet or pizza pan with olive oil if needed. I have a Gotham Steel pan that doesn’t need oils or sprays but if yours sticks use the olive oil.
